Florence Welch Steps Out With New Boyfriend James Nesbitt

Florence Welch has been pictured holidaying with new boyfriend James Nesbitt.

The pair, who is currently on holiday with friends in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, are believed to have met through mutual friends back in London.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Florence and James are pretty loved up.

"They instantly hit it off. James was privately educated in Yorkshire and now earns his cash from helping organise events.

"They have a lot of mutual friends and like going out to the same places. They have been inseparable since they got together. There's no way they'd travel halfway around the world together if they weren't serious."

Florence split with long-term boyfriend, literary editor Stuart Hammond, last October.
